The school doesn't appear to be handling this well. I think maybe the real police need to be called in. I know they're not any better in most cases, but that is some serious bullshit.

I wanted to chime in and say that I'm sorry this is happening. Are you/is she in contact with the local sexual assault support center? They may be a great support system. Unfortunately, this kind of questioning is pretty widespread when it comes to schools- the hearings are run by lawyers who are often not…
Unbelievable! I'm so sorry this is happening to you and your daughter. Maybe that evil tape can be used to hang the idiot asking the questions. Let's hope so. This is yet another example about why these investigations should be handled only by professionals.
That just broke my heart. I am so sorry for your daughter, you, and your daughter's boyfriend. I am sending all my love and sympathy to you all.
"An addendum that I'm majorly WTFing over: Her bf's interview with the head of student affairs (she wasn't even with him when it happened, why interview him?????) was yesterday, and the woman asked about their sex life, if it'd changed, if she liked it rougher now (than when? they weren't together before the…
What happened to your daughter is horrific beyond words. And then I felt like my head was going to explode when I was reading the questions asked during the interview. I hope your daughter gets some kind of justice. And I am glad that she has you, because you sound like an awesome parent.
Oh, Christ. I'm so sorry your daughter is going through all that, and thank goodness she has you for support. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling.
That guy's boss needs a phone-call. Preferably from someone who is a licensed therapist. That is some bullshit, and it is dangerous.
Again, you're proving you don't know much about the sport. I really recommend watching the episode. It's not just about how dangerous it is. It's about the physical demand and competitiveness and athletics. My cousin is an Olympic Ice Skater (Jason Brown, with the ponytail) and his sport requires him to follow…
I much prefer this response to this news story: Stop helicopter-parenting other people's kids.
Ugh - can we not do this, at all, please? It's just a way for people to denigrate non-standard regional accents and dialects. I'll give you that there are some words we might pick up from reading & not realize the correct pronunciation for, but as soon as we start disparaging people who say "aks" instead of "ask," it…
*hides all the heirlooms from you so she will have something left to make salsa with*
She had to be taken to the hospital and had to have a hysterectomy because whatever they penetrated her with cause that much damage. That's how the police got involved so fast, and one reason why there is so much support for her. The "had sex and regretted it" narrative doesn't wash when you lose your uterus. THAT's…
I'm sorry to you and your daughter.
I don't think you understand how I feel about tomatoes.
I mean, really, a list of sandwiches might as well be two entries long:
Kitchenette understands two things above all else: 1) sandwiches are awesome, and 2) people love yelling at me about…
Diet Coke uses aspartame I'm looking at the label right now
Due to overwhelming demand (and my own natural curiosity) I finally broke down and tried a product that's made a lot…
